Chapter 224 Go to build your reputation
The fishermen of Hanma City are blessed today. The fish that were killed and stunned are floating on the sea and can be caught casually. Frederick and the two of them just happened to catch it. The boat went back with a favorable wind.
The owners of the resort building on the island did not dare to ask for too much compensation, especially after they heard that the building was accidentally blown up while practicing magic, so they only cautiously charged the cost price.
There were still many people in the manor who wanted to steal money, and Frederick continued to disappear.
No one knows where the two of them ran. Anyway, with wireless communicators, they can find people if something happens.
In fact, Frederick didn't know where he was now. When he woke up that day, he found a strange ceiling in front of him, as if he was in a hunter's cabin in a dense forest somewhere.
Psyche only left him a few pieces of rough armor, a dagger, a spear, a first aid kit and the task of hunting a bear spirit, allowing him to farm monsters to increase combat experience.
Frederick curled his lips. The bear spirit Psyche was talking about was a kind of furbolg that looked a bit like a human. The adult individual was about one meter tall and his claws could hold sticks and stones. When something attacks an enemy, it will go berserk. Its intelligence is almost at the same level as Dawn. If it evolves, it may evolve into a bear lady.
The problem is that bear spirits live in groups. The whole family, old and young, lives in groups of twenty or thirty. They will not be left alone. If you kill one, a group will come. This task seems to be a one-on-one challenge, but it is actually a one-on-one challenge for Frederick. A bunch of bears.
After Frederick figured out the situation, he walked out of the hut. The first thing he had to do now was not to kill monsters but to survive. Psyche didn't prepare anything to eat.
There were some bottles and cans in the hut, and there was a stream nearby, so he drank pheasant soup at night.
The next morning, after eating the leftover chicken soup from last night, he began to walk downstream along the creek, looking for the footprints of the bear spirit.
This method worked very well. At noon on the third day, he found a piece of bear footprints on the bank of the upper reaches of the creek. Judging from the number, they were bear spirits rather than bears.
Frederick carefully followed the footprints of the bear spirits, not noticing that he was upwind. After walking for a while, he found three bear spirits in front of him holding wooden sticks, and one of them seemed to be waiting for him. What he is holding should be the axle of the carriage, with bearings on it.
With the intelligence of the bear spirit, he recognized that the hairless bipedal ape holding a weapon was an enemy, and rushed forward with a roar.
They roared like this, and there was a response from the forest behind.
Frederick immediately jumped to the side. He had been beaten by a lot of people during training in the past few years. He had gained experience. At this time, he could not just be stupidly beaten in the middle. He had to jump to the side to ensure that there was only one person in front of him. Few enemies.
At this time, he and the three bear spirits were almost in a straight line, and the spear with lightning on the tip suddenly pierced the shoulder of the closest bear spirit.
The bear spirit's fur is very tough, and the spearhead only penetrates a little, but the electric current that passes into the body is enough to electrocute it to stop its heart.
Frederick did not dare to let it bleed too much, because they would go crazy as soon as they smell the blood of their companions.
White light emerged from the feet of the second bear spirit, and a huge icicle wrapped it inside. It would suffocate to death before the icicle disappeared.
Just then, a wind blade flew over from the distant woods and cut off half of the third bear spirit's head.
As soon as Frederick finished his curse, the group of bear spirits that were approaching suddenly let out a roar, and the ground shook.
More than a dozen bear spirits went crazy, their muscles suddenly bulged, and they rushed forward with a roar.
Some of them were holding stones, some were holding wheels, some were carriage shafts, and the strongest one around was holding a half-gnawed horse leg.
A swordsman in white clothes and armor rushed over, flying among the bear spirits like a butterfly. The long sword in his hand pierced the throats of the two bear spirits, and then was knocked away by a horse's leg for more than ten meters. Frederick sighed, pulled out the dagger, enchanted it, and threw it at the strongest bear spirit.
The dagger was inserted into the bear spirit's back, and the next moment, several ice spikes penetrated from its body.
Frederick kept wandering around the bear spirit with a spear. If he was close, he would stab him with a spear at the right time, and if he was far away, he would throw fireballs.
The intelligence of these monsters was always limited and they could only rush forward. In the end, he was able to kill them one by one by flying kites.
Frederick returned to the scene and found that there was a forest road there, and a luxury carriage overturned to the ground. The sturdy carriage was not damaged, and there were living people inside, but the two horses pulling the carriage and the coachman were eaten away. A little less than half.
The swordsman in white who was shot away had not yet woken up. Frederick dragged her to the carriage, spoke to the people in the carriage and left.
When Frederick caught a rabbit for dinner and returned to the cabin, he found that the mission had been updated.
The reward for hunting the bear spirit is a small bag of salt, and there is a map on the table. The next task is to eliminate the wolves outside a village 10 kilometers away before dark tomorrow.
Frederick was speechless and could only stew rabbit early and eat it before going to bed. He would have to get up very early tomorrow.
Similar missions continued one after another, and Frederick also understood where he was now.
He was in the south of Burling City at this time. Last year, Casimir wiped out the noble coalition, resulting in the death of many soldiers and young men in the village. This left these places without manpower. Come and destroy the monsters.
The struggle between Warcraft, wild beasts and humans for living space will not end with this. At this time, humans are weak, and the other side begins to gradually regard farmland and pasture as its own canteen, waiting to take out food on the road. Delivered to your door.
As for the local lords, almost all of them died at the hands of the Piast Kingdom. Many families fell into internal fighting among the heirs, and some simply died out. There was no time to take care of these things, so they had to suffer as farmers. .
Frederick spent a month hunting monsters in this area, and when he woke up one day, he found that he was being carried back to the manor.
It was already August 1028, and the coalition forces on the Elbe River Defense Line were preparing to go back.
Now that the Kingdom of Damma and the Kingdom of Piast have been crippled, and there are signs of civil strife east of the Elbe River, no one will think about the west.
Good news also came from Wesson. The Carolina Canal has been dug theoretically, and we are just waiting for the Duke of Wesson to return to preside over the digging ceremony.
Frederick began to make arrangements for his return journey. This time he would take a boat upstream and finally return to Wesson by land.
The reason is very simple, it is to show the military power of Weisen State to the nobles along the way and increase its popularity.
Just when Frederick was about to leave, a soldier from the Magician Company brought two middle-aged men.
The two of them looked a little haggard. The weather was quite hot now, but they were only wearing a pair of underwear and a bearskin coat.
The soldier turned out to be a student at Weissenburg University. He told Frederick that these two were professors at the Royal University of Constantinople and were friends with Professor Omet.
